Epub books on Kindle paperwhite on 6.8
Hi

I have a Kindle PW1 and I recently bought the new Kindle PW 6.8.
As per Amazons announcement earlier Amazon will now support epub format.

Questions
1. What is the best way to transfer an .epub to Kindle PW 6.8
2. What needs to be done if i want to transfer this through calibre

These questions may have been asked before, however i could not find any relevant links


Thanks
Ninad

1. If you don't care about reading insights, use Calibre to transfer them. Otherwise upload via https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle.
2. Install KFX-Output plugin. When you edit metadata for your books it's best to also have the amazon-id / ASIN for each book. This'll enable goodreads integration for your books. Make sure that https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Previe...de=21381691011 is installed on your machine, otherwise KFX-Output won't work. Now you can transfer your epubs to your Kindle in KFX-format.

Might be better (IMHO) to use KF8 instead of KFX.

Kindles don't support epub, Amazon servers do. You can send an epub via email or Send-to-Kindle; but for direct transfer (including transfer with Calibre) you must use one of the Kindle formats, AZW3 or KFX.

It's easier (IMHO) to use Calibre to convert to KF8 and then send to your Kindle via USB. Also, less chance of something going wrong.

If you are out of USB range, then using amazons own send to kindle is simplest. you don't have to do any imports or conversions, just send the epub.

the only cons are
1. its arrives as a personal document, not a book
2. the cover is lost

But where are you getting the DRM free ePub from using your phone? How are you sending to Kindle from there? It's too much of a hassle (IMHO) to try to do this on a phone.

Covers will show for personal documents with recent Kindle firmware versions.

You convert to AZW3 (in Calibre) to get KF8 format.

Maybe the book was downloaded from Gutenberg or archive.org using a phone or tablet? Maybe the book was sent as an ARC through email, and the person wants to read it on their Kindle, and doesn't have a PC close by?

Using a smart phone to download and send is no more difficult than using a full blown iPad or android tablet. All you need is a browser and email app. As long as the receiving Amazon account is set up to allow reception from the sending email address, there is no reason it can't be done.

Assuming the book is drm free, which it would be from Gutenberg, or if it was an arc from an author.
